Resumen
In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order permits, among other things, the hospital company to complete its acquisition of Medical Care America, but requires it to divest the Alaska Surgery Center within twelve months to a Commission- approved entity. If the transaction is not completed in the designated time frame, the respondents are required to permit the Commission to appoint a trustee. In addition, the consent order requires the respondent, for ten years, to obtain Commission approval before acquiring an interest worth more than $1 million in any outpatient surgical services facility in Anchorage, Alaska, and before selling such an interest to any entity that operates an outpatient surgical services facility in Anchorage, Alaska.
